Pierce, Celtics mum on incident
August 5, 2008
The Celtics yesterday said that NBA Finals Most Valuable Player
Paul Pierce would not comment on the early Sunday morning incident
during which he was stopped in Las Vegas for "erratic driving."
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department reported that Pierce
had been handcuffed after making an illegal lane change in front
of the Tropicana Hotel and Casino.
Pierce, driving a white BMW, was pulled over at about 3 a.m. Sunday.
Pierce passed the field sobriety test, and a Breathalyzer determined
that his blood alcohol content was below the .08 legal intoxication
limit in Nevada.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Pierce was initially
"uncooperative" after being stopped but calmed down after being
handcuffed. The cuffs were removed after about 15 minutes, and
Pierce was not cited for a traffic violation.
Pierce then left his car at valet parking and hired a taxi.

Celtics captain Paul Pierce was reportedly handcuffed following a
traffic stop on the Las Vegas strip early Sunday morning.
Here's the story from the Las Vegas Review-Journal:

The Boston Celtics' Paul Pierce, the most valuable player
in the 2008 NBA Finals, was handcuffed by Las Vegas police
early Sunday after he was initially uncooperative following
a traffic stop for driving erratically on the Strip.
Bill Cassell, public information officer for the Metropolitan
Police Department, said he did not have the details about why
Pierce was cuffed but said it often happens when "an individual
is loudly hostile."
"You have to remember he's a big guy," Cassell said.
Pierce, a forward who is 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighs
235 pounds, "rapidly calmed down," and police removed the
handcuffs after about 15 minutes, Cassell said.
"We find this happens a lot of times," Cassell said.
"Someone is a little agitated, and when they're placed in
handcuffs, they rethink things."
The traffic stop occurred around 3 a.m. near Las Vegas
Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue, Cassell said.
Officers gave Pierce field sobriety tests, which often
take up to an hour, he said.
A Breathalyzer showed Pierce registered below the 0.08
level that defines legal intoxication in Nevada.
Pierce did not drive the car after he was stopped.
"He made a decision to have one of the valets park his
car for the night," Cassell said.
Police did not cite Pierce for a traffic infraction.
"We don't cite everybody we stop," Cassell said. "Sometimes
we give just a verbal warning. It's based on the totality of the
circumstances."
Pierce, a frequent NBA all-star, led the Celtics to the NBA
championship over the Los Angeles Lakers in June.
